Lemme know how it turns out. I'm nosy like that.
"No sleep" (aka stay at level 1) run:
Mhenga
- Stay on Tavros, spend money on any outfit that gives you enough sexiness to work at Beth's.
- Suck dick until you have enough money for life time pass at Ten Ton Gym on New Texas.
- Proceed to max out all stats including Will from everyone's favorite double-dicked dragon dudette
- Suck some more dick at Beth's for money to upgrade your melee and ranged weapons from Carl's and buy a better shield from V-KO (running a merc) and some Mark I shield boosters
- Bet with Syri and interact with her until you can Talk with her. Spam books until INT is maxed
- Go into jungle and work Tease until you feel it's sufficient (I maxed it out), you might want to take those Zil capture quests, you're going to be needing the money, farm Zil until one of them drops a Primitive Bow, keep any Zil Honey you find
- Go into Deep Jungle and claim the mineral deposit
- Remember that primitive bow? Take it to Tani and spam training until you learn Concussive Arrow and get Tanis's Bow
- Claim first probe, save before fight
- Spam concussive arrows on Dane until you win, use that shield booster and that zil honey, don't let your shield drop: Dane can 1-2 shot a level 1 character with no shields
Tarkus
- Meet/talk to everyone blah blah blah etc
- Buy heaviest armor you can and best melee/ranged weapons you can, don't bother trying the Anno recruit quest or Hand-So quest
- Instead buy as many EMP grenades as you can from Anno, if you don't have enough money go suck dick at Beth's until you do, I was running around with 50-60 EMP grenades on me at all times
- Head immediately to the Scything Glade and activate the fast travel point. This will save you a lot of headaches
- Farm robots until one of them drops a Hammer shield
- Heal and stock up on EMP grenades and shield boosters (remember you can only use one per battle)
- Start Stellar Tether bomb quest thing
- Immediately EMP Tam-Tam turrets and continue in this pattern: EMP, melee/ranged strike, EMP until they are defeated
- Knock out Tam-Tam and take and equip her busted ass Tamwolf
- Same pattern for the turrets waiting for you below
- Rescue Mitizi because she's a cutie
- Save before Korgan use the pillars for cover, toss EMP grenades until her shields drop, DO NOT let your shields drop she will 1-hit KO a shield-less level 1 player
- Save before Kaska, spam EMP
- Disarm bomb and leave for Myrellion
- DO NOT GIVE PLAT190 FOR THE PROBE, IF YOU NEED THE 25k JUST SUCK DICK AT BETH'S
Myrellion
- Immediately buy whatever shield V-KO sells in Gildenmere and replace the Mark I shield boosters with Mark II shield boosters
- Fly over to Red territory and buy whatever armor and weapons you might need
- Go back to Tarkus, time for a little revenge
- Do Anno Quest (Protip: spam EMP) so you can upgrade the Goozooka
- After Anno is added to your crew you can now buy GM bots to heal youself and as ammo for the Goozooka
- Keep like 10-20 EMP grenades you won't be using them as much here on Myrellion
- Hunt for Beta Nyreas until they drop a Nova shield use your Goozooka on all except the writhing tentacles
- Go to Deep Caves, make beeline for the taxi point and activate it
- Talk to that vendor person so it opens up the 'subjugate' option for Taivra
- Pop a Crystal shard and make you're you have enough GM Bots for the fight
- Bribe the guards with Plat 190 they will take you straight to Taivra so buff before bribing the guards
- Spam Goozooka, sujugate Taivra because I want that fancy spear.
You're going to have to come back later for the Reaper Arms shield
Zheng Shi
- Urblog kicks your ass, rocks fall, everyone dies.
I have a bad feeling the Deep Caves are going to be a hard wall for this run but that's as far as I've gotten so far. LUL Nevermind, I cleaned house with the Goozooka!
Side Quests completed:
Anno Quest
Hand-So Quest
Kara Quest
Defeated Shizuya (save scum city!!)
My findings thus far: Steele is Batman, with the power of money and planning Steele can do anything. Also Uveto unlocked and I don't know when, I have no idea how it unlocked since this Steele is level1. Edit: Ah it was because I sexed Shade.
tl;dr I will laugh hard at anyone that complains this game is too grindy or too hard. Hit Zheng Shi in 69 days...
I'm pretty sure Urbolg is the wall this run has hit as he: Targets shields with shield hack, has an ungodly amount of shields and is basically immune to the level of lust my Steele can put out.
